Urgent cake help needed!

[Jux]

DH asked me to make a ginger cake, so I got this recipe

BUT

Without thinking I just went ahead and creamed the butter and sugar!

What difference is it likely to make?
How best to proceed?

Advice urgently needed!

Ooops THIS recipe

I'd risk it and just heat the rest of the wet ingredients. Maybe add some extra sugar to the pan. It should all melt in anyway.
Once poured into the flour and butter.

Thank you! Hoing ahead as you suggest. Fingers crossed!

I’d heat the other wet ingredients, mix the flour and other dry ingredients into the creamed butter and sugar until it’s like breadcrumbs, then add the warmed wet stuff. I have a recipe for cupcakes that I make this way and it’s always lovely.

I'd heat the creamed butter and sugar myself

I'd add the creamed butter/sugar to everything else to be melted and then add the liquid to the dry ingredients.

I heated the wet ingredients and added to the slightly too wet 'breadcrumb' and crossed my fingers. Was fine. Rose nicely, smells fab. NOT ENOUGH SYRUP as there was enough batter for two cakes and I don't have any more delicious stem ginger syrup to add to treacle etc. So parsimonious with what I had.

Eating it tonight. Want it now 🌶🍩🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰
